You don't need a cable package to catch every NFL Sunday in Canada. Here are the real options, including blackout-free IPTV.
Watching the full NFL season in Canada used to mean a cable package plus a sports add-on. In 2026 there are several ways to stream every game without cable — here is how they compare.
Your NFL streaming options in Canada
Canadians can watch the NFL through DAZN (which holds Canadian NFL rights), over-the-air CTV/TSN broadcasts for select games, or an IPTV service that carries the sports channels in one place. Each has trade-offs in price and coverage.
IPTV — every game, no blackouts
The simplest option is IPTV. STAR IPTV Canada carries the NFL networks and national broadcasts in 4K with no regional blackouts, so you stream Sunday games, Monday Night Football and the playoffs from one app on any device.
IPTV lets Canadians watch every NFL game live in 4K from one subscription, with no cable and no blackouts.
What you need to stream the NFL
- ✓ A streaming device: Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Android box or a smart TV.
